And I must apologize.  If a youtube clip stops working...  I really can't fix it.  Its all those rich fat cats that think they have to stomp on people and don't want to have achieves of clips and what not.  Which is sad.. because I still well up when I watch the leap of faith, Chaplin & Matilda clips.
 
Contact me through the comments if you have any feedback on this all..  Thanks Guys!  Break a Leg!

"BIG FISH: A New Broadway Musical" - Review #11



Ok so I guess I will never be able to see a show pre-tonys and predict the winner.  As like last year I thought Matilda would win Best New Musical hands down...  they gave it to Kinky Boots...  now I'm gay and well...  In fairness I never saw Kinky Boots...  However I never saw Book of Mormon either... and I still think I wouldn't like it.

Just by the buzz, I decided to buy TKTS to see Big Fish.  And I'm glad I did.  Again I thought this was another family friendly show (remember I was afraid that family friendly and a smash in my mind would go hand and hand) however since Catch Me....  I'm glad I found some family gems.

Another reason I wanted to see this, also has a Catch Me reason.... Mr. Norbert Leo Butz...  What a stage name, however more so...  What a freaking triple threat actor....

One reason I didn't think I would like it is because its one of those new was a movie lets put music to it musical.  But I never saw the movie...  and really I don't think it would have been as good without the music.

Just as I thought this would take home Best New Musical....  they announced the closing date of 12/29/13.  Just like Chaplin, what a shame.  Oh well.  Fantastic show overall...  Go see the tour!!!

 2 must see's!!

"Cinderella" - (Broadway) - Review #10

Well...  The tickets were free, however...  It was just a traditional show.  No big effects.. (other then the quick change dresses that someone on America's Got talent made someone a little more known.  If your a kid...  perfect musical to take them too.  However I really think the maybe have more of a family price..  Oh well..  some adults in my group just loved it, because they loved the story forever...  However it holds to my...  The older musicals, just don't do it for me.  Acting and singing was good.  And the stage scenery was good as well..  But I had to keep myself awake.

Sorry have to give it...  must see?
